>> draft-ietf-appsawg-json-merge-patch "JSON Merge Patch" is a simpler subset of proposal 1. It is designed to work well with JSON objects, and objects nested in objects etc. Its main limitation (compared to proposal 1) is that it doesn't support insert/replace for individual array elements.

> Right.  Why not just drop draft-ietf-appsawg-json-merge-patch?

Because it is creates intuitive and succinct patches for many most common cases.
